The restaurant, which specialized in wings, burgers, wraps and entrees, opened in 2013 in Hampden Township at the site of the former Old Country Buffet.

Quaker Steak & Lube was founded and based in Sharon, about 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, in 1974. The chain grew to more than 50 locations in 16 states and is known for its automotive-themed decor.

But the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2015 and TravelCenters, based in Westlake, Ohio, purchased the chain in 2016.
